A medical doctor by training, Merlin decided to embark on a fundamental science journey in 2019 and hasn’t looked back since. Merlin did his Ph.D. under the supervision of Patrick Chames at CRCM and Laurent Limozin at LAI. He successfully defended his thesis which is entitled “Selection of nanobodies by a microfluidic mechanical approach for therapeutic purposes” in the presence of an expert jury consisting of Marie-Alix Poul, Charlie Gosse, and Hervé Nozach.

Merlin has already been employed by Immunocore in the UK where he’s utilizing his skills in a more applied setting. We wish him the best of luck, as well as a lot of Marvel content in his future!
